1970 Theater model from Magnavox offered thier "phantom" ultrasonic remote control for the color TV that also would tune the AM-FM dial and stop on an active station like a seek function, you needed to push the channel select button (with TV part off) to do that. It also allowed you to reject a record on the changer using the same button. Not a sophisticated feature by any measure.
The 1980s Sony Pro-feel and XBR component systems, RCA dimensia components and some others offered combined and more functional TV-Stereo remote controls, using IR remotes. I worked at a store that sold these but we seldom installed and demonstrated them as those buyers were usually informed and ready
